In the era fluctuating with information, we constantly feel overwhelmed by all the over-exaggerated, eye-catching, but maybe toxic taglines all over the internet. #DROWN intends to visualize this feeling of being suffocated and drowned by all the text on the internet, particularly on social media. 

The project #DROWN uses hashtags on the trending chart of major social media platforms (Weibo and Twitter) as the major element, representing overwhelming information online; when users interact with the project in a certain way (motion/mouse interaction), the texts would change their usual stage where they flow around, and gather around the users’ position and fluctuated, creating the feeling of over-flooding the users.
